AT Sc. LOUIS AND VICINITY.
ST. LOUIS, Mo-, Feb. People whose
business or pleasure kept them or called
them from sleep about 4:1O yesterday
morning, experienced a sensation that
set their tongues wagging and kept these
organs IN motion all day. An earth
quake shock shook things up in pretty
lively manner. There was only one
shock, but it was very perceptible. Re-
the southwest toward the northwest. 1t
was so severe il the suburbs that light
buildings rocked and trembled quite NO.
lently, and in two instances frail struct-
ures were thrown down. Dairymen in the
suburbs report their cows were fright
ened, in many cases the fright
amounting to panic and stampede
among the beasts. In the city the
shock has been subject to great gossip
and speculation. Reports from. towns in
central Illinois show the shock crossed
the state and was very perceptible, Col
linsville, Olney, Vandalia, NATION,
Shelbyville, Paris, Charleston, Arcola,
Tuscola and a number of other small
places report that the quake was severe
enough to cause light articles of fur
nitCre In the houses to move and TO rat
tie dishes and glassware in cupboards.
AT SPRINGFIELD.
SPRINGFIELD, Ill, Feb. This city
was visited by an earthquake shortly
after o'clock this morning. A differ
ence of opinion exists as to the number
of shocks. Some claim there were five
different shocks following each other In
rapid succession, while others claim
that there were but three. The time
between the first vibration to the last
was from fifteen to twenty seconds. The
first shock was the most distinct, the
ones following diminishing in intensity
until the vibrations ceased. No damage
was done.

rate of an inch per hour. Access to the
central passenger depot here is now cut

pots. Disastrous floods are reported III

CLINTON, Ill, Feb. "a little over
two months ago John Lane living at De
Witt, Ill, was bitten on the foot by q
dog. Shortly afterward the dog exhlb-
tied strong symptoms of being mad, and
was accordingly killed. Ever since the
occurrence Mr.. Lane has been taking
medical treatment until few days ago,
when his symptoms developed into ny
drophobia of a very malignant type,
his malady superinduced insanity, aud
yesterday he was brought to this city,
from where he was to be sent to Jack

at all after applying the brakes. look
ed out of my window, then being about
thirds of the way across the bridge,
and saw the rear Pullman of the tram
| falling from the rear end of the bridge.
In falling it drew the three next cars
with 1t, when the couplings evidently
broke between the smoker and the first
passer ger car.
Leaving these On the track and my en-
CINE c8me to standstill little beyond
the further end of the bridge. I slid
down the steep embankment rapidly,
passing under the bridge and immediate
~ reached the first car which was about
IN the middle of the river. It had not
broken through the ice and there was no
water in 1t, but it evidently struck on
the corner and squashed down, to half
lis height and lay upon the side with
the bottom towards the bridge. There
were lett with me of the railroad en-
ployes who had not gone down with the
wreck, my firemen, Frank Thrasher,
Cole, Daggagemaster, express messenger,
and two mail agents whose names ] do
not know. The baggagemaster and my
fireman went down with me to the
wreck. When we reached it the fire had
started from the stove IN the rear of the
first passenger car and I did not look
further than that, but at once did what
| could to put out the fire. l at once
saw it was useless to try if, as the fire
had already made such Roadway and I
at once began to help the people out.

BRADFORD, VT, Feb. 5.-The night
express, which left White River juno
ton, bound for Montreal, filled with
passengers from Boston and New York
for the Carnival, was wrecked. The rail
broke and the engine, one baggage car,
two passenger coaches and two sleepers
plunged over the bridge sixty feet into
the river. Before the engineer or any
one could get to the wreck the cars had
caught fire and burned. The bridge
also burned and inside of twenty min
utes all were destroyed. 1t is estimated
that fifty persons were killed. The on
" house near the scene was that of
Thomas Pingree, farmer, and had it
not been for his Lospltable roof some
of the injured would doubtless have
persisted from exposure. The baggage and
mail cars afforded accommodations for
a number of the wounded.

CNEEK RESERVOIR
Dallas TO have Good Water and
Plenty OF II.

The cit council last night discussed
he wafer supply outlook. The dis
cussion was warm, earnest, but sensi-
| bic and reasonable in the main. The
: following are the two plans submitted.
Mr.. Rouch, chairman of the water
commissioners, presented Il majority
report, report, in substance, of the
water commissioners in connection
with The superintendento of watcrworks
and city engineer, which was first be-
fore the council on the 25lh Of last
August. This report recommended
the construction of q reservoir at the
Turtle Creek pumphousI wit a capac-
iiy lo3,35o,o 900 gallons, which the es-
Inmates showed could be constructed
in ninety days, and would cost 3o,S6o
dollars, iemized as follows: Moving
and placing earth 2o.964 dollars, gravel
for slopes III dollars, fencing 1924
dollars, changing suction or discharge
pipes 2loo dollars. extra land purchase
1900 dollars, clearing and clubbing
5ooo dollars, contingencies 5000 dol
lars.
Mcssrs. Loeb and Peterman pre-
sented arcport favoring the construc.
ton at Cedar Springs OF q reservoir
in conformity with the plans of the
hydraulic engineers, providing for
one hundred and sevcnty-three mil
lion gallons storage, at cost of SS2,-
GAO, plus the cost of the land. The
report took the ground that the Trim
ity river water was impure. and that
the knowledge of the public of the
fact that they were being furnished
pure water. such as could be had from
Cedar Srings, would increase the con-
sumption and The profits of the water
works. M. Loeb, speaking to tho re-
port alleged that the sewers of Fort
Wo:th flowed into the Trinity river.
Mr. Rauch argued in favor of the
plan he had proposed, aud denied that
The evidence on record went to show
that the Trinity river water was not
pure, but on the contrary had been
analyzcd and found pure.
After some discussion the report of
Mr.. Rauch was adopted, in connection
with the purchase of 36 acres from
Bowscr 81 Lennon, adjoining the
water works, for $4,000 dollars, and
acres from Mr. Quillman, for 1,000
dollars.
The water commissioners were in
structed by the council to take i'm
mediate preliminary steps for the con
structiOn of reservoir.
